NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Friday that Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will attend the appeal hearing for his six-game suspension in person on Tuesday.

The NFL Players Association filed an appeal on Elliott's behalf after he was suspended for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.

Elliott's suspension stems from his ex-girlfriend, Tiffany Thompson, telling police he struck her while they were in a parked vehicle in Columbus, Ohio, in July 2016, according to TMZ.

The Columbus City Attorney's Office did not charge Elliott due to information it deemed "conflicting and inconsistent," per ESPN.
